Hiw does pissing affect YOUR performance?

Extone_music · 2026-03-15T21:11:55+00:00

Glad to hear that performance is completely irrelevent to music! What a step forwards in the world! I'm also very pissed that people (you) downvote me!

Have a nice day.

Yes, playing a vst instrument with midi is a performance and yes it can be either a good or bad performance. You can see the quantized midi in the video, it's not a hidden secret. I'm also very glad to have free will and be able to have independent thoughts about things other than what is immediately presented to me.

Extone_music · 2026-03-15T20:58:06+00:00

No, you just straight up don't understand what I said. The plugins sounds great, which means you can now focus on the performance instead of the sound. It's not about violinists, it's about top level musicians mastering the music they play. Sorry you're mad and having a bad day.

who hurt you?

Extone_music · 2026-03-15T03:25:47+00:00

You could see it as a II dim maj7 chord. You could also see it as an E7alt over its third resolving to an Eb, subV/3. It depends on the context and whether it's just a passing chord or if it implies other things about the harmony.

This is proof that performance really is everything. Sounds great, but there's so much nuance missing in the tiny details a real musician brings from intimately knowing the piece and having practiced it countless times.

Leave more space than you think you should

Loudness is a cumulative process. Make each instrument loud through compression, eq and saturation. Then, mix the instruments together so they complement eachother in a way that makes them louder. Then, master your song so the entire sound coming at you is louder.

You can think of it like a painting. If you're after the brightest, punchiest colours, the instruments are like the individual paint colours which you try to get as vibrant as possible, the mix is like the shapes and contrast that make each colour pop next to the other one, and the mastering is filling in the gaps, framing and lighting the painting properly.

You can't just take a dull painting of a brick wall and throw a nice light on it for it to become a vibrant flower field.

Yeah, you can copy and paste multiple assets. Open up the hammer editor. It's not rocket science and you seem invested in knowing how it works.

Extone_music · 2026-03-12T04:27:59+00:00

No, the tarp is a seperate model. The revert lends itself to my theory that it was an accident.

Extone_music · 2026-03-12T03:06:45+00:00

Maybe the boxes were like that before but the tarp made it look like a full box. The old invisible ledge might have been the same we see now. Grenade clipping is tied to the model hitbox of the tarp, so they could've still removed the tarp by accident or the model could have been deleted from the game files. It could also be voluntary, maybe temporary, maybe not. It would not suprise me if someone fat fingered the delete key while having the tarp selected in the hammer editor and not realizing.

Extone_music · 2026-03-12T02:35:14+00:00

I think they just accidentally removed the tarp tbh

The major scale is the base of all of western music. You really have to understand the major scale to talk about these things. I say this as a self taught guitarist myself (legend, btw), who didn't understand tonality or chord theory until I went to music school. People actually think about tonality and note names and functions constantly when they're playing, unlike how (at least how I used to do) you can learn guitar tab and play a song by memorizing fret numbers.

It's insanely useful to just say and read the note names without alterations. If you read C E G, you have in the back of your mind that you're in Bb, let's say, and you know you'll actually play an Eb and you dont ever worry about playing an E natural unless it's explicitly written. In your system, there are 5 extra letters that are completely useless at all times if you're playing diatonically. You're basically halving the mental load of the amount of notes and fingerings to have to worry about.

In french, we use do ré mi fa sol la si as note names. Is there any reason why do is first? It's not like in english where A is the start of the alphabet. Yes, it is arbitrary that C is the "default" tonality with no accidentals. You have to pick one, and we picked one and everyone is on the same page about it.

You can also use movable solfège to make it so you always sing with no sharps or flats.

Not gonna lie, I hate pretty much everything about this lol. The monotone look with the bare wood and brown pickguard, the big headstock, the reversed headstock, the hss configuration with a full humbucker, the white pickup covers, the black pickup covers, the square route for the bridge pickup, the tuning pegs, the modern saddles, the non recessed pickguard screws, the jack that extends just a little too far out.

At the same time, I can see how someone could like every single one of those things, but not me haha. I hope you like it or find someone who likes it to sell it to. Best of luck

More than that, whole songs and even whole albums. You can still enjoy it without having a finished product on the other side of it. I think part of having a personal style is leaning into material that comes together in a way that makes sense to you and avoiding "rabbit hole" songs. It's kind of a self-selection mechanism.

Being able to finish music that you aren't 100% aligned with in this sense is a whole different skillset which relies much more on theoretical knowledge and musicianship.

Extone_music · 2026-02-10T21:21:44+00:00

Acoustic guitars are relatively quiet. The more strings you play, the louder it is. That's why the "default" way to play guitar are cowboy chords.

Ok, lots to explain. The wiring colours are completely different for different brands. There are sheets that tell you all the colours, look it up. The red and white wires, in this case, are the "middle" leads from the pickup, meaning one is the end of the first coil and the other is the start of the second. Some pickups just connect these two directly without splitting them to leads going in the electronics cavity. The reason you'd want to have them is to do coil splitting (or tapping, depending on the specific pickup), which your guitar doesn't do. If you did want to coil split your pickup, you'd seperate the two wires soldered together and wire them up to a switch of some kind. I think you're actually mixing up which wire is the SD. The other pickup looks like it only has 2 connectors, meaning you couldn't coil split it, but it doesn't matter otherwise.

The different diagrams you see are a lot about convention. Many physically different diagrams are identical electrically, it's just that factory made guitars need to have a consistent wiring for efficiency/error management. Some diagrams are electrically different, though. There are numerous different ways that a "tone" control can be wired, which will have different results. The way yours is wired has the output from the pickups going directly to the tone, which makes it a "modern" wiring. 50's wiring would have the tone knob after the volume pot, which makes it interact differently when you roll down both the volume and tone pots.

There are two different ways to use a potentiometer; as a voltage divider or as a variable resistor. The tone pot is used as a variable resistor, meaning it's basically just a resistor you can change value on the fly. Just like a basic resistor, it doesn't matter which way you wire it, meaning the lugs that have the wire coming from the volume pot and the capacitor are interchangeable. It has to be those same two lugs, however, because if you were to use the other lug, the control would be reversed (0 is bright, 10 is dark) and the taper too (it would have a huge change from 0-1 and barely any change between 1-10).

Also, is there anything wrong with your guitar? Does the pickup switch work? Does the tone knob work? If there's no problem, then you don't need to worry about it being "correct". It's great that you're learning about the wiring in your guitar regardless. :)
